They were talking about their bookbags, which of course involved talking about books, which naturally led to thoughts of helpful commentary which might encourage them to make the most of their precious years at Hogwarts. I merely sought to make them fully cognisant of the gravity of the situation. It is not a privilege to be taken lightly, this glorious institution of ours, you know.
Speaking of which, you and I -- are we rather letting down the side by not doing any special presentations on History this term? We used to have such grand fun with those. Of course, that was B.F. -- Before Finnegan. I know, I know, you're just mates. Actually, I have no trouble believing that at all, given certain attesting circumstances!

I was going to ask whether we ought to recapture our days of glory by doing some little reprise of our History presentations of yore. Do say you will, Padma. Just think how grand it could be! And goodness knows many of our fellow students could benefit thereby.
